Answer:
The value we are given in the question is 1.24 * 10^7. This form of writing number is called scientific notation. The standard notation is the normal, regular way of writing numbers. Scientific notation and standard notations are interchangeable.
1.24 * 10^7 written in standard notation will be = 1.24 * 10000000 = 12400000.
Thus, the mass of the meteoroid was 12400000 kg.
Explanation:
To develop this problem it is necessary to apply the Rayleigh Criterion (Angular resolution)criterion. This conceptos describes the ability of any image-forming device such as an optical or radio telescope, a microscope, a camera, or an eye, to distinguish small details of an object, thereby making it a major determinant of image resolution. By definition is defined as:
Where,
= Wavelength
d = Width of the slit
= Angular resolution
Through the arc length we can find the radius, which would be given according to the length and angle previously described.
The radius of the beam on the moon is
Relacing
Replacing with our values we have that,
Therefore the diameter of the beam on the moon is
Hence, the diameter of the beam when it reaches the moon is 7361.82m
Answer:
1.549 m
Explanation:
Given:
The radius of the circular board, r = 2 m
The probability of hitting the red is given as 0.6
Now, this probability of hitting the red can be conclude as
0.6 = (Area of red)/ (Total area of the board)
Total area of the board = πr² = π × 2²
let the radius of the red area be R
thus, area of red circle, = πR²
on substituting the value of the area, we have
0.6 = (πR²)/ (π × 2²)
or
R² = 2.4
or
R = 1.549 m
Thus, the radius of the red circle is 1.549 m
Answer:
a. 120 W
b. 28.8 N
Explanation:
To a good approximate, the only external force that does work on a cyclist moving on level ground is the force of air resistance. Suppose a cyclist is traveling at 15 km/h on level ground. Assume he is using 480 W of metabolic power.
a. Estimate the amount of power he uses for forward motion.
b. How much force must he exert to overcome the force of air resistance?
(a)
He is 25% efficient, therefore the cyclist will be expending 25% of his power to drive the bicycle forward
Power = efficiency X metabolic power
= 0.25 X 480
= 120 W
(b)
power if force times the velocity
P = Fv
convert 15 km/h to m/s
v = 15 kmph = 4.166 m/s
F = P/v
= 120/4.166
= 28.8 N
definition of terms
power is the rate at which work is done
force is that which changes a body's state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line
velocity is the change in displacement per unit time.
